Geography
Foronia is a country with a vast contrast in landscape. To the north of the country one can find vast snowy mountain ranges that host some of the country's finest skiing resorts as well as quaint villages that still adhere to the old Foronian way of life. To the south the land becomes more flat and is covered by lush forest and rolling plains where one can find the capital and largest city Vistoka.

Language
Foronian is the majority language spoken in Foronia and is also a minority language spoken in neighbouring Uslye. The language is written in both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. Originally the language was only written in Cyrillic and is seen as a part of Foronian culture, however a Latin alphabet of the language was introduced to make it easier for people to learn and read the language. Today government documents have to be printed in both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets but Cyrillic is taught first in school (in grade 1) whereas the Latin alphabet is first taught in grade 3, however some schools may begin earlier if they choose.
